Abstract
Fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) can serve as a tool to achieve successful resection of tumour tissues during surgery, serving as a surgical navigator for surgeons. FIGS relies on the use of fluorescent molecules that can specifically interact with cancer cells. In this work, we developed a new model of fluorescent probe based on benzothiazole-phenylamide moiety featuring the visible fluorophore nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD), namely BPN-01. This compound was designed and synthesised for potential applications in the tissue biopsy examination and ex-vivo imaging during FIGS of solid cancers. The probe BPN-01 exhibited favourable spectroscopic properties, particularly in nonpolar and alkaline solvents. Moreover, in vitro fluorescence imaging revealed that the probe appeared to recognise and be internalised in the prostate (DU-145) and melanoma (B16-F10) cancer cells, but not in the normal cells (myoblast C2C12). The cytotoxicity studies revealed that probe BPN-01 was not toxic to the B16 cells, suggesting excellent biocompatibility. Furthermore, the computational analysis showed that the calculated binding affinity of the probe to both translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) was considerably high. Hence, probe BPN-01 displays promising properties and may be valuable for visualising cancer cells in vitro. Furthermore, ligand 5 can potentially be labelled with NIR fluorophore and radionuclide, and serves as a dual imaging agent for in vivo applications.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain cancer, is considered one of the deadliest cancers, and even with the most advanced medical treatments, most affected patients have a poor prognosis. However, recent advances in nanotechnology offer promising avenues for the development of versatile therapeutic and diagnostic nanoplatforms that can deliver drugs to brain tumor sites through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Despite these breakthroughs, the use of nanoplatforms in GBM therapy has been a subject of great controversy due to concerns over the biosafety of these nanoplatforms. In recent years, biomimetic nanoplatforms have gained unprecedented attention in the biomedical field. With advantages such as extended circulation times, and improved immune evasion and active targeting compared to conventional nanosystems, bionanoparticles have shown great potential for use in biomedical applications. In this prospective article, we endeavor to comprehensively review the application of bionanomaterials in the treatment of glioma, focusing on the rational design of multifunctional nanoplatforms to facilitate BBB infiltration, promote efficient accumulation in the tumor, enable precise tumor imaging, and achieve remarkable tumor suppression. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and future trends in this field. Through careful design and optimization of nanoplatforms, researchers are paving the way toward safer and more effective therapies for GBM patients. The development of biomimetic nanoplatform applications for glioma therapy is a promising avenue for precision medicine, which could ultimately improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxides of lanthanide rare-earth elements show great potential in the fields of imaging and therapeutics due to their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties. Oxides of lanthanide-based nanoparticles enable high-resolution imaging of biological tissues by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) imaging, and fluorescence imaging. In addition, they can be used to detect, treat, and regulate diseases by fine-tuning their structure and function. It remains challenging to achieve safer, efficient, and more sensitive nanoparticles for clinical applications through the structural design of functional and nanostructured rare-earth materials. RESULT In this study, we designed a mesoporous silica-coated core-shell structure of europium oxide ions to obtain near-infrared two-photon excitation fluorescence while maintaining high contrast and resolution in MRI. We designed enhanced 800 nm photoexcitation nanostructures, which were simulated by the finite-difference method (FDM) and finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). The nanoparticle structure, two-photon absorption, up-conversion fluorescence, magnetic properties, cytotoxicity, and MRI were investigated in vivo and in vitro. The nanoparticle has an extremely strong optical fluorescence response and multiple excitation peaks in the visible light band under the 405 nm continuous-wave laser excitation. The nanoparticle was found to possess typical optical nonlinearity induced by two-photon absorption by ultrafast laser Z-scan technique. Two-photon excited fluorescence of visible red light at wavelengths of 615 nm and 701 nm, respectively, under excitation of the more biocompatible near-infrared (pulsed laser at 800 nm). In an in vitro MRI study, a T1 relaxation rate of 6.24 mM-1 s-1 was observed. MRI in vivo showed that the nanoparticles could significantly enhance the signal intensity in liver tissue. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that this sample has applied potential in visible light fluorescence imaging and MRI.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an effective treatment measure against solid tumors which fails to respond conventional chemo/radiation therapies in clinic. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 143:213153. [PMID: 36343390 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a fast, precisive, and cost-effective anticancer therapy protocol. Here we applied our previously designed nanomaterial (Tocophotoxil) for prospective PTT application to manage radiation- and chemo-resistant cancers in a preclinical model. A PTT dose vs. efficacy relationship was established for radioresistant breast (ZR-75-1 50Gy, 4T1 20Gy) and chemo-resistant ovarian (A2780LR) cancer cells and tumors in mice models. Compared to the sensitive cases, resistant cells treated with PTT for a shorter duration show higher endurance. However, preclinical tumor xenografts treated with optimal PTT dose show 2-3 fold higher longevity (P ≤ 0.05) of treated mice monitored by non-invasive imaging methods. Elevated ERK and AKT activation in radioresistant or only AKT activation in chemo-resistant cells were contributory to higher cell survival in sub-optimal PTT dose. A comprehensive single-cell Raman map of PTT treated ZR-75-1 cell reveals broad-spectrum macromolecular deformities, including protein damage features. Marked induction of pJNK, unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid peroxidation in PTT-treated cells disrupted the intracellular homeostasis. Analyzing cellular ultrastructure, the coexistence of swollen endoplasmic reticulum, and autophagic bodies after PTT indicate possible coordination between UPR and autophagy pathways. Therefore, this comprehensive study provides new evidence on the potential impact of PTT as a standalone therapy for ablation of failed conventional therapy-resistant cancers in vivo, the success of which is intricately linked to the PTT dose optimization. The study, for the first time, also illustrates that under PTT treatment, concerted action of novel molecular switches such as JNK activation and UPR activation plays a vital role in triggering autophagy and cancer cell death.

Abstract
The rapid growth of nanomaterial applications has raised safety concerns for human health. A number of studies have been conducted to assess the toxicokinetics, toxicology, dose-response, and risk assessment of different nanomaterials using in vitro and in vivo animal and human models. However, current studies cannot meet the demand for efficient assessment of toxicokinetics, dose-response relationships, or the toxicological risk arising from the rapidly increasing number of newly synthesized nanomaterials. In this article, we review the methods for conducting toxicokinetics, hazard identification, dose-response, exposure, and risk assessment studies of nanomaterials, identify the knowledge gaps, and discuss the challenges remaining. We provide the rationale behind the appropriate design of nanomaterial plasma toxicokinetic and tissue distribution studies, including caveats on the interpretation and correlation of in vitro and in vivo toxicology studies. The potential of using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to extrapolate toxicokinetic and toxicity findings from in vitro to in vivo and from animals to humans is discussed, and the knowledge gaps of PBPK modeling for nanomaterials are identified. While challenges still exist, there has been progress in the toxicokinetics, hazard identification, and risk assessment of nanomaterials in the past two decades. Recent advancements in the field are highlighted with relevant examples. We also share latest guidelines as well as our perspectives on future studies needed to characterize the toxicokinetics, toxicity, and dose-response relationship in support of nanomaterial risk assessment. This article is categorized under: Toxicology and Regulatory Issues in Nanomedicine > Toxicology of Nanomaterials Toxicology and Regulatory Issues in Nanomedicine > Regulatory and Policy Issues in Nanomedicine.

Abstract
The translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) was first identified in 1997, and has now become one of the appealing subcellular targets in medicinal chemistry and its related fields. TSPO involves in a variety of diseases, covering neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, cancers, and so on. To date, various high-affinity TSPO ligands labelled with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/positron emission tomography (PET) radionuclides have been reported, with some third-generation radioligands advanced to clinical trials. On the other hand, only a few number of TSPO ligands have been labelled with fluorophores for disease diagnosis. It is noteworthy that the majority of the TSPO fluorescent probes synthesised to date are based on visible fluorophores, suggesting that their applications are limited to in vitro studies, such as in vitro imaging of cancer cells, post-mortem analysis, and tissue biopsies examinations. In this context, the potential application of TSPO ligands can be broadened for in vivo investigations of human diseases by labelling with near-infrared (NIR)-fluorophores or substituting visible fluorophores with NIR-fluorophores on the currently developed fluorescent probes. In this review article, recent progress on fluorescent probes targeting the TSPO are summarised, with an emphasis on development trend in recent years and application prospects in the future.

Abstract
Radiation brightening was recently observed in a multifluorophore-conjugated brome mosaic virus (BMV) particle at room temperature under pulsed excitation. On the basis of its nonlinear dependence on the number of chromophores, the origins of the phenomenon were attributed to a collective relaxation. However, the mechanism remains unknown. We present ultrafast transient absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies which shed new light on the collective nature of the relaxation dynamics in such radiation-brightened, multifluorophore particles. Our findings indicate that the emission dynamics is consistent with a superradiance mechanism. The ratio between the rates of competing radiative and nonradiative relaxation pathways depends on the number of chromophores per virus. The findings suggest that small icosahedral virus shells provide a unique biological scaffold for developing nonclassical, deep subwavelength light sources and may open new avenues for the development of photonic probes for medical imaging applications.

Abstract
As a traditional treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), surgical resection of diseased tissues often brings lots of inconveniences to patients, and the tumor recurrence and metastasis are difficult to avoid. Herein, we developed a gene and photothermal combined therapy nanosystem based on a polypyrrole (Ppy)-poly(ethylene imine)-siILK nanocomplex (PPRILK) to achieve minimally invasive ablation and lymphatic metastasis inhibition in PTC simultaneously. In this system, gelatin-stabilized Ppy mainly acted as a photothermal- and photoacoustic (PA)-responsive nanomaterial and contributed to its well-behaved photosensitivity in the near-infrared region. Moreover, gelatin-stabilized Ppy possessed a charge reversal function, facilitating the tight conjunction of siILK gene at physiological pH (7.35-7.45) and its automatic release into acidic lysosomes (pH 4.0-5.5); the proton sponge effect generated during this process further facilitated the escape of siILK from lysosomes to the cytoplasm and played its role in inhibiting PTC proliferation and lymphatic metastasis. With the guidance of fluorescence and PA bimodal imaging, gene delivery and Ppy location in tumor regions could be clearly observed. As a result, tumors were completely eradicated by photothermal therapy, and the recurrences and metastases were obviously restrained by siILK.

Abstract
Photothermal-therapy (PTT) inculcates near-infrared laser guided local heating effect, where high degree of precision is expected, but not well proven to-date. An ex vivo tissue biochemical map with molecular/biochemical response showing the coverage area out of an optimized PTT procedure can reveal precision information. In this work, Raman-microscopic mapping and linear discriminant analysis of spectra of PTT treated and surrounding tissue areas ex vivo are done, revealing three distinct spectral clusters/zones, with minimal overlap between the core treated and adjacent untreated zone. The core treated zone showed intense nucleic-acid, cytochrome/mitochondria and protein damage, an adjacent zone showed lesser degree of damages and far zone showed minimal/no damage. Immunohistochemistry for γH2AX (DNA damage marker protein) in PTT exposed tissue also revealed similar results. Altogether, this study reveals the utility of Raman-microspectroscopy for fine-tuning safety parameters and precision that can be achieved from PTT mediated tumor ablation in preclinical/clinical application.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light emitting diode (pc-LED) light sources have broad application prospects in environmental science, biomedical and plant growth fields. However, NIR phosphors still suffer from narrowband emission and low thermal stability. Here, we prepared a novel Lu2CaMg2-xSi3O12:xCr3+ (LCMS:xCr3+, x = 0.005-0.06) phosphor with broadband emission by a high-temperature solid state reaction. Under excitation at 450 nm, the emission spectrum of the LCMS:0.05Cr3+ phosphor shows a broadband emission in the range of 650-1000 nm with a large full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 125 nm and an R-line emission of 692 nm. In addition, the LCMS:0.05Cr3+ phosphor has good thermal stability and can maintain 70% emission intensity at 150 °C relative to that at room temperature. The LCMS:0.05Cr3+ phosphor exhibits a high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of ∼76%. Using this phosphor, a NIR pc-LED with photoelectric efficiencies of 14.8% at 100 mA and 6.0% at 320 mA and NIR output powers of 59.5 mW at 100 mA and 181.0 mW at 320 mA was obtained. The broadband LCMS:0.05Cr3+ phosphor with a NIR emission peaked at 750 nm can serve as a light source for plant cultivation and has superior application prospects in the agriculture field.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light possesses many suitable optophysical properties for medical imaging including low autofluorescence, deep tissue penetration, and minimal light scattering, which together allow for high-resolution imaging of biological tissue. NIR imaging has proven to be a noninvasive and effective real-time imaging methodology that provides a high signal-to-background ratio compared to other potential optical imaging modalities. In response to this, the use of NIR imaging has been extensively explored in the field of immunotherapy. To date, NIR fluorescence imaging has successfully offered reliable monitoring of the localization, dynamics, and function of immune responses, which are vital in assessing not only the efficacy but also the safety of treatments to design immunotherapies optimally. This review aims to provide an overview of the current research on NIR imaging of the immune response. We expect that the use of NIR imaging will expand further in response to the recent success in cancer immunotherapy. We will also offer our insights on how this technology will meet rapidly growing expectations in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE IR780 iodide, a promising near-infrared dye, is widely used to prepare nanoparticles as a theranostic agent for tumor imaging and therapy. However, there are no validated (bio)analytical methods to measure IR780 in nanoparticles and tissues in literature. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a new HPLC method to measure IR780 concentration in IR780 formulations as well as a new LC-MS/MS method to measure IR780 concentration in tissue samples, particularly in liver and lung. MATERIALS AND METHODS IR780 granules that produced IR780 in situ self-assembled nanoparticles upon contact with water were prepared at two drug loadings (0.2 % and 0.37 %). An HPLC method was developed and validated to measure IR780 concentrations in IR780 granules and nanoparticles. Furthermore, a validated LC-MS/MS method was developed to measure IR780 in mouse liver and lung. Both HPLC method and LC-MS/MS method were validated in terms of specificity, stability, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy and precision. RESULTS Both HPLC method and LC-MS/MS method achieved the criteria for method validation. The HPLC method was accurate in the concentration range of 0.5-25 μg/mL. The measured drug loadings were 95 % of the theoretical drug loadings. The validated LC-MS/MS method can quantitatively measure the concentrations of IR780 in liver and lung. The linear range of the LC-MS/MS method was 1-1000 ng/mL for both liver and lung samples. IR780 granules showed the lung selectivity compared to IR780 solution at 2 h after oral administration. CONCLUSION A validated HPLC method was developed to measure IR780 concentration in pharmaceutical formulations and a validated LC-MS/MS method was developed to measure IR780 concentration in tissues. These quantitative methods provide reliable measurements of IR780 in pharmaceutic formulations and biological samples, which will significantly facilitate the research of IR780 as a theranostic agent for cancer therapy and imaging.

Abstract
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term inflammatory disease derived from an autoimmune disorder of the synovial membrane. Current therapeutic strategies for RA mainly aim to hamper the macrophages' proliferation and reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, the accumulation of therapeutic agents targeted at the inflammatory site should be a crucial therapeutic strategy. Nowadays, the nanocarrier system incorporated with stimuli-responsive property is being intensively studied, showing the potentially tremendous value of specific therapy. Stimuli-responsive (i.e., pH, temperature, light, redox, and enzyme) polymeric nanomaterials, as an important component of nanoparticulate carriers, have been intensively developed for various diseases treatment. A survey of the literature suggests that the use of targeted nanocarriers to deliver therapeutic agents (nanotherapeutics) in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis remains largely unexplored. The lack of suitable stimuli-sensitive polymeric nanomaterials is one of the limitations. Herein, we provide an overview of drug delivery systems prepared from commonly used stimuli-sensitive polymeric nanomaterials and some inorganic agents that have potential in the treatment of RA. The current situation and challenges are also discussed to stimulate a novel thinking about the development of nanomedicine.

Abstract
A key consideration in the clinical translation of nanomedicines is determining their in vivo biodistribution in preclinical studies, which is important for predicting and correlating therapeutic efficacy and safety. There are a number of techniques available for analyzing the in vivo biodistribution of nanoparticles, with each having its own advantages and limitations. However, conventional techniques are limited by their inability to image the three-dimensional (3D) association of nanoparticles with cells, vasculature and other biological structures in whole organs at a subcellular level. Recently, optical clearing techniques have been used to evaluate the biodistribution of nanoparticles by 3D organ imaging. Optical clearing is a procedure that is increasingly being used to improve the imaging of biological tissues, whereby light scattering substances are removed to better match the refractive indices of different tissue layers. The use of optical clearing techniques has the potential to transform the way we evaluate the biodistribution of new and existing nanomedicines, as it allows the visualization of the interaction of nanoparticles with the biological environment in intact tissues. This review will compare the main optical clearing techniques and will address the considerations for the use of these techniques to evaluate nanoparticle biodistribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperthermia (heating to 43 °C) activates the innate immune system and improves bladder cancer chemosensitivity. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the tissue penetration and safety of convective hyperthermia combined with intravesical mitomycin C (MMC) pharmacokinetics in live porcine bladder models using the Combat bladder recirculation system (BRS). METHODS Forty 60 kg-female swine were anesthetized and catheterized with a 3-way, 16 F catheter. The Combat device was used to heat the bladders to a target temperature of 43 °C with recirculating intravesical MMC at doses of 40, 80, and 120 mg. Dwell-heat time varied from 30-180 min. Rapid necropsy with immediate flash freezing of tissues, blood and urine occurred. MMC concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry. RESULTS The Combat BRS system was able to achieve target range temperature (42-44 °C) in 12 mins, and this temperature was maintained as long as the device was running. Two factors increased tissue penetration of MMC in the bladder: drug concentration, and the presence of heat. In the hyperthermia arm, MMC penetration saturated at 80 mg, suggesting that with heating, drug absorption may saturate and not require higher doses to achieve the maximal biological effect. Convective hyperthermia did not increase the MMC concentration in the liver, heart, kidney, spleen, lung, and lymph node tissue even at the 120 mg dose. CONCLUSIONS Convective bladder hyperthermia using the Combat BRS device is safe and the temperature can be maintained at 43 °C. Hyperthermia therapy may increase MMC penetration into the bladder wall but does not result in an increase of MMC levels in other organs.

Abstract
While plasma concentration kinetics has traditionally been the predictor of drug pharmacological effects, it can occasionally fail to represent kinetics at the site of action, particularly for solid tumors. This is especially true in the case of delivery of therapeutic macromolecules (drug-loaded nanomaterials or monoclonal antibodies), which can experience challenges to effective delivery due to particle size-dependent diffusion barriers at the target site. As a result, disparity between therapeutic plasma kinetics and kinetics at the site of action may exist, highlighting the importance of target site concentration kinetics in determining the pharmacodynamic effects of macromolecular therapeutic agents. Assessment of concentration kinetics at the target site has been facilitated by non-invasive in vivo imaging modalities. This allows for visualization and quantification of the whole-body disposition behavior of therapeutics that is essential for a comprehensive understanding of their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Quantitative non-invasive imaging can also help guide the development and parameterization of mathematical models for descriptive and predictive purposes. Here, we present a review of the application of state-of-the-art imaging modalities for quantitative pharmacological evaluation of therapeutic nanoparticles and monoclonal antibodies, with a focus on their integration with mathematical models, and identify challenges and opportunities. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
Lung cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage due to its unrecognized symptoms, resulting in high mortality. In recent decades, research into the development of an early diagnostic method for lung cancer has expanded in order to overcome the high mortality rate. Calpain 2 (CAPN2) has been suggested as a tumor marker linked to angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and migration in non-small cell lung cancer. In this study, CAPN2 enzyme-activatable near-infrared peptide sensor linked to human serum albumin (HSA-CAPN2) was developed. Intracellular localization and strong recovered fluorescence signals of HSA-CAPN2 were observed in in vitro experiments using A549-Luc cells, and signal recovery was inhibited by ALLN (a CAPN2 inhibitor). In vivo distribution and signal recovery evaluations performed using A549-Luc cell xenograft mice revealed that HSA-CAPN2 accumulated in the tumor region and produced high fluorescent signal recovery. Three-dimensional reconstructed images using single-plane illumination microscopy after tissue clarity visualized localization of HSA-CAPN2 in tumors. In addition, ALLN pretreatment showed a significant inhibitory effect on signal recovery of HSA-CAPN2, and that inhibition was induced by downregulation of CAPN2 at the gene and protein levels followed by decreases in Ca2+ levels. Overall, the results demonstrate the potential of HSA-CAPN2 as a sensor for CAPN2-enriched cancer.

Abstract
Diverse nanosystems for use in cancer imaging and therapy have been designed and their clinical applications have been assessed. Among a variety of materials available to fabricate nanosystems, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been widely used due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. In order to provide tumor-targeting and diagnostic properties, PLGA or PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) can be modified with other functional materials. Hydrophobic or hydrophilic therapeutic cargos can be placed in the internal space or adsorbed onto the surface of PLGA NPs. Protocols for the fabrication of PLGA-based NPs for cancer imaging and therapy are already well established. Moreover, the biocompatibility and biodegradability of PLGA may elevate its feasibility for clinical application in injection formulations. Size-controlled NP’s properties and ligand–receptor interactions may provide passive and active tumor-targeting abilities, respectively, after intravenous administration. Additionally, the introduction of several imaging modalities to PLGA-based NPs can enable drug delivery guided by in vivo imaging. Versatile platform technology of PLGA-based NPs can be applied to the delivery of small chemicals, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids for use in cancer therapy. This review describes recent findings and insights into the development of tumor-targeted PLGA-based NPs for use of cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Gold is a multifunctional material that has been utilized in medicinal applications for centuries because it has been recognized for its bacteriostatic, anticorrosive, and antioxidative properties. Modern medicine makes routine, conventional use of gold and has even developed more advanced applications by taking advantage of its ability to be manufactured at the nanoscale and functionalized because of the presence of thiol and amine groups, allowing for the conjugation of various functional groups such as targeted antibodies or drug products. It has been shown that colloidal gold exhibits localized plasmon surface resonance (LPSR), meaning that gold nanoparticles can absorb light at specific wavelengths, resulting in photoacoustic and photothermal properties, making them potentially useful for hyperthermic cancer treatments and medical imaging applications. Modifying gold nanoparticle shape and size can change their LPSR photochemical activities, thereby also altering their photothermal and photoacoustic properties, allowing for the utilization of different wavelengths of light, such as light in the near-infrared spectrum. By manufacturing gold in a nanoscale format, it is possible to passively distribute the material through the body, where it can localize in tumors (which are characterized by leaky blood vessels) and be safely excreted through the urinary system. In this paper, we give a quick review of the structure, applications, recent advancements, and potential future directions for the utilization of gold nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics.

Gold Nanocage-Incorporated Poly(ε-Caprolactone) (PCL) Fibers for Chemophotothermal Synergistic Cancer Therapy. Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11020060. [PMID: 30717084 PMCID: PMC6410212 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics11020060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2018] [Revised: 12/27/2018] [Accepted: 12/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
This paper introduces a new fibrous system for synergistic cancer therapy, which consists of gold nanocage (AuNC)-loaded poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) fibers with encapsulation of a chemotherapeutic anticancer drug in their core and loading of a phase-changeable fatty acid in their sheath. Under on–off switching of near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, the excellent photothermal ability and photostability of AuNCs allows repeated, significant heating of the fibers to a temperature available to hyperthermia. Simultaneously, the NIR light-induced heat generation enables the melting out of the loaded fatty acid, leading to a rapid release of the drug molecules from the fibers. The combination of this NIR light-triggered drug release with the repeated hyperthermia treatment exhibits excellent anticancer efficacy.

Plasmonic carbon nanohybrids for repetitive and highly localized photothermal cancer therapy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2018; 172:430-439.

Abstract
Integrating metallic and non-metallic platform for cancer nanomedicine is a challenging task and bringing together multi-functionality of two interfaces is a major hurdle for biomaterial design. Herein, NIR light responsive advanced hybrid plasmonic carbon nanomaterials are synthesized, and their properties toward repetitive and highly localized photothermal cancer therapy are well understood. Graphene oxide nanosheets having thickness of ∼2 nm are synthesized using modified Hummers' method, thereafter functionalized with biodegradable NIR light responsive gold deposited plasmonic polylactic-co-glycolic acid nanoshells (AuPLGA NS, tuned at 808 nm) and NIR dye (IR780) to examine their repetitive and localized therapeutic efficacy as well resulting side effects to nearby healthy cells. It is observed that AuPLGA NS decorated graphene oxide nanosheets (GO-AuPLGA) and IR780 loaded graphene oxide nanosheets (GO-IR780) are capable in standalone complete photothermal ablation of cancer cells within 4 min. of 808 nm NIR laser irradiation and also without the aid of any anticancer drugs. However, GO-AuPLGA having the potential for repetitive photothermal treatment of a big tumor, ablate the cancer cells in highly localized fashion, without having side effects on neighboring healthy cells.

Abstract
Nanomedicines are typically submicrometer-sized carrier materials (nanoparticles) encapsulating therapeutic and/or imaging compounds that are used for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. They are increasingly being used to overcome biological barriers in the body to improve the way we deliver compounds to specific tissues and organs. Nanomedicine technology aims to improve the balance between the efficacy and the toxicity of therapeutic compounds. Nanoparticles, one of the key technologies of nanomedicine, can exhibit a combination of physical, chemical and biological characteristics that determine their in vivo behavior. A key component in the translational assessment of nanomedicines is determining the biodistribution of the nanoparticles following in vivo administration in animals and humans. There are a range of techniques available for evaluating nanoparticle biodistribution, including histology, electron microscopy, liquid scintillation counting (LSC), indirectly measuring drug concentrations, in vivo optical imaging, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine imaging. Each technique has its own advantages and limitations, as well as capabilities for assessing real-time, whole-organ and cellular accumulation. This review will address the principles and methodology of each technique and their advantages and limitations for evaluating in vivo biodistribution of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) takes advantage of unique properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) (nanospheres, nanoshells (AuNSs), nanorods (AuNRs)) to destroy cancer cells or tumor tissues. This is made possible thanks principally to both to the so-called near-infrared biological transparency window, characterized by wavelengths falling in the range 700–1100 nm, where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue, and to the efficiency of cellular uptake mechanisms of AuNPs. Consequently, the possible identification of intracellular AuNPs plays a key role for estimating the effectiveness of PTT treatments. Here, we review the recognized detection techniques of such intracellular probes with a special emphasis to the exploitation of near-infrared biological transparency window.

Abstract
In recent years, research has focused on the development of smart nanocarriers that can respond to specific stimuli. Among the various stimuli-responsive platforms for cancer therapy, near-infrared (NIR) light (700-1000nm)-responsive nanocarriers have gained considerable interest because of their deeper tissue penetration capacity, precisely controlled drug release, and minimal damage towards normal tissues. In this review, we outline various therapeutic applications of NIR-responsive nanocarriers in drug delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and bioimaging. We also highlight recent trends towards NIR-responsive combinatorial therapy and multistimuli-responsive nanocarriers for improving therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The evolution of nanomaterial in science has brought about a growing increase in nanotechnology, biomedicine, and engineering fields. This study was aimed at fabrication and characterization of conjugated gold-cockle shell-derived calcium carbonate nanoparticles (Au-CSCaCO3NPs) for biomedical application. The synthetic technique employed used gold nanoparticle citrate reduction method and a simple precipitation method coupled with mechanical use of a Programmable roller-ball mill. The synthesized conjugated nanomaterial was characterized for its physicochemical properties using transmission electron microscope (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). However, the intricacy of cellular mechanisms can prove challenging for nanomaterial like Au-CSCaCO3NPs and thus, the need for cytotoxicity assessment. The obtained spherical-shaped nanoparticles (light-green purplish) have an average diameter size of 35 ± 16 nm, high carbon and oxygen composition. The conjugated nanomaterial, also possesses a unique spectra for aragonite polymorph and carboxylic bond significantly supporting interactions between conjugated nanoparticles. The negative surface charge and spectra absorbance highlighted their stability. The resultant spherical shaped conjugated Au-CSCaCO3NPs could be a great nanomaterial for biomedical applications.
